Updated October 2026
Pressure areas, wounds, catheters, PEG feeds, insulin, controlled drugs, deteriorating residents and a registered nurse accountable for all of it. The software has to hold that detail or the nurse keeps a parallel paper record, which is how things get missed.
Most systems give you a care plan and a daily log and expect you to write the clinical picture into free text. It is not good enough for a nurse and it is not good enough for an inspector.
Kiwi scores the tools you already use, keeps the controlled drug trail watertight, and shows deterioration as a trend rather than as a story buried in notes.
A named witness on every controlled dose and every stock movement, with counts, discrepancies and a rule-driven workflow.
Enter the measurements; Kiwi works out BMI and weight change automatically and charts the trend over time.
Wound and skin care logged with a body map and photos, so every entry is on the resident's record and timeline.
Weight, BMI, blood pressure, pulse, respirations, temperature, oxygen, glucose, pain and continence trended on the profile.
Low, important and critical flags, with important and critical held for a manager or nurse to review.
Protocols per person, running counts and a prompt to record whether it worked.
Post-fall checks, neurological observations where needed, and the review that stops it happening again.
Each person's DoLS review date recorded, and flagged when it is overdue.
A full care record PDF in one tap, and reports for any date range as PDF or CSV.
Pressure-ulcer risk scores such as Waterlow are not calculated by Kiwi.
Price for a nursing home service: £179.95 per home per month up to 30 beds, £229.95 over 30 beds, everything included, free set-up, monthly.
| Clinical need | Typical care software | Kiwi |
|---|---|---|
| Controlled drugs | A note that it was given | Named witness on every dose and stock move, with reconciliation |
| BMI and weight change | You calculate, then type the number | Worked out automatically, with a trend chart |
| Wounds | Photos in a folder | Logged with a body map and photos, on the resident's timeline |
| Observations | Free text | Structured values with trends on the profile |
| Handover | One long note | Flagged items with manager review on important and critical |
| Medicines dictionary | Free typing for every medicine | Licensed strengths and forms to pick from for common medicines, with links to BNF and eMC information where available |
Because it makes them type the same thing twice. If the observation goes in one place, the weight chart in another and the care plan update in a third, a busy nurse will do the one that is checked and skip the rest. Kiwi calculates from what is already entered, so the clinical picture builds itself.
The questions are always the same. Who gave it, who was named as witness, what was the stock before and after, and what happened when a dose was refused? Kiwi answers all four as a matter of course, and a visual MAR chart shows a month at a glance.
Nursing homes that also support younger adults with a learning disability get both sides of the record in one place, which is unusual and is the reason a lot of mixed providers move to Kiwi.
Care records are about vulnerable people, so security comes first. Your data is encrypted on the way to us, stays in the UK, and stays yours.
Yes, through the everyday record rather than a separate module: person-centred care plans across 24 sections, a memory book, a 0–10 pain score that also appears on the Hospital Passport, and ABC charts with a behaviour analysis heatmap to help staff understand distress.
Yes, including controlled drugs with a named witness on every dose and stock movement, stock counts and discrepancies, PRN protocols with running counts, and a visual MAR chart over 7, 14 or 28 days.
Yes. You enter the measurements and Kiwi works out BMI and weight change automatically, then charts them so deterioration is visible rather than buried. Pressure-ulcer risk scores such as Waterlow are not calculated by Kiwi.
As a wound care entry in the daily log, with a body map and photos, so every entry sits on the resident's record and timeline.
Yes. Hover any square on the MAR chart to see who signed and when, and export the full signature record as a PDF in one tap.
No. You pay per home, £179.95 up to 30 beds or £229.95 over 30, and staff and devices are unlimited.
Most nursing homes are over 30 beds, so £229.95 per home per month, or £179.95 for a home of 30 beds or fewer. Everything is included and setup is free. From your third home you get 20% off your Kiwi subscription (Kiwi Rota isn't included), 25% at four and 30% at five, six or more homes get one group price, and paying annually takes another 10% off.
